UOB

General
Can I continue to operate my Citi Term Deposit, Current Account and Savings Account?
+
Yes, you can continue to operate your Citi accounts as usual and there will be no change in your account number until further notice.
Can I continue to perform both local and overseas cash withdrawals with my Citi Debit Card?
+
Yes, there is no immediate change to the way you withdraw cash with your Citi Debit Card.
I have both Citi and UOB's Debit Card. Do I need to cancel my Debit Card?
+
You do not need to cancel your Citi Debit Card. As the migration to UOB will not be immediate, you may continue to use both your UOB and Citi account(s) which will operate as usual.

When your Citi account(s) is migrated to UOB, you will be given prior notice before the migration commences.
What is my Foreign Exchange Administration (FEA) limit?
+
Customers with domestic borrowings will be tracked up to RM1 million equivalent per calendar year.
What is my Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM) coverage?
+
If you have deposits in both Citibank and UOB Bank, these deposits will be insured separately up to RM250,000 per depositor for a period of 2 years from 1 November 2022 or upon maturity or until full withdrawal of the deposit, whichever is earlier.

However, please take note that there will be an exercise to convert Citibank’s eligible deposit accounts to equivalent UOB accounts as a result of the transfer of the business at a later stage. You will be kept informed prior to the conversion. The account conversion is deemed to be a full withdrawal and closure of the Citibank deposit accounts. Hence, the expiry of the above separate coverage. Following this, your UOB Deposits that are eligible for PIDM protection on aggregate basis will be protected by PIDM up to RM250,000 for each depositor.
